Cycloidal Gearbox Technology Basics – Principle of Operation

Cycloidal Gearbox Technology – Principle of Operation – Ratio

Cycloidal Gearbox Technology –Principle of Operation – First Track

The first track of the cycloidal cam lobes/teeth engage with cam followers located in the reducer housing. Cylindrical cam followers act as teeth of the internal gear. The number of cam followers exceeds the number of cam lobes/teeth.

Cycloidal Gearbox Technology – Principle of Operation – Second Shaft

The second track of the cam lobes/teeth engages with the cam followers on the output shaft and transforms eccentric rotation of the cam into concentric rotation of the output shaft producing increased torque and reduced speed
